Andre Ventura accuses Pedro Nuno of ‘even more attack’ on security forces

President Chegi accused Social Democratic Party secretary-general Pedro Nuno Santos of “further attacking” security forces and considered that the protests “never” called public order into question.

“Pedro Nuno Santos does not maintain public order, Pedro Nuno Santos attacks the police even more. He knows that he betrayed the police and attacks them even more during the election period,” criticized Andre Ventura.

Speaking to reporters ahead of a meeting with the president of the Order of Nurses in Lisbon, the Chegi leader said “the protection of public order must be a priority.”

“Until today, public order has never been questioned,” even when “the security forces were, shall we say, absent from some investigations, the police continued to carry out investigations,” he said.

President Chegi accused the PS of “trampling on the forces of power for years” and allowing “this situation to arise” by “attributing the fair addition to the judicial police, but deliberately and deliberately did not assign them to the GNR, PSP, prison guards and others.”

Andre Ventura also considered that the investigation, ordered by the national director of the PSP, into the circumstances of the police protest at the Capitol cinema, where the televised debate between the leaders of the PS and the PSD took place, “is just an action to investigate whether or not everything was legal.”

“It seems to me that it is completely legitimate for the police to speak out, whether in a debate, in government action or in the Council of Ministers. I hope that everything was done legally, we will wait for the conclusions of this investigation,” he said.

Chega’s leader also refused to believe that there was an atmosphere of intimidation: “I think we are talking about a protest that is legitimate by forces that feel trampled and who are trying through democratic means to tell the major parties and everyone – they also told Chega and others that we need to make a commitment to them in the next legislature.”

“This is not a threat, this is a legitimate act of protest in a democracy. If anyone can complain about this, it is the Socialist Party, because the Socialist Party is largely responsible for this discontent among the security forces,” he criticized.

Ventura was also convinced that the security forces “will maintain public order 100% and will do everything that is required of them in democratic terms.”

“We’ll see what the investigation will say on this aspect, regarding its organization and convening, we don’t know yet, let’s wait. When this investigation comes to an end, we will definitely conduct this analysis,” he said, believing that “when there are sectors, who are so trampled upon, it becomes difficult to control their disappointment.”

Ventura stated that “there was a very simple way to prevent this from happening: it would be fair to attribute the supplement assigned to other forces.”

“What we are seeing is a brutal failure to compromise, whether on the part of the PS or the SDP,” he criticized, saying the PS “seems to negotiate with some but not negotiate with others” and “SDP doesn’t negotiate with anyone.” undertakes to analyze everything and study everything.”

Ventura also responded to a Socialist leader who said Tuesday that the right is a “mess.”

“If there is anyone who is responsible for the mess the country is in, it is Dr. Pedro Nuno Santos, if there is someone who is responsible for the health mess, the justice mess, the economic mess, it is Dr. Pedro Nuno Santos. No, this is not Chega, not the SDP and not the Liberal Initiative,” he emphasized.

President Chegi also accused Pedro Nuno Santos of having “problems with amnesia” as “he says he will reconsider the conditions of nurses’ careers when he systematically voted against it in parliament.”
